UXBRIDGE — An Uxbridge man is facing charges of contributing to the delinquency of a child and procuring alcohol for a person under 21 after police were called early Monday morning to a party at his home, where more than 20 young people were drinking.

According to a news release from the Uxbridge Police Department, officers went to the home of Christopher C. Robbins, 41, of 3 Garden St., shortly after midnight, after receiving a call from a parent who had picked up her daughter and was concerned about the alcohol and evidence of marijuana use that were present.

In a Police Department Facebook post confirmed by Melanie Blodgett-O'Toole, police and fire public information officer, sheets were over the windows, empty alcoholic beverage containers were scattered around the yard, and loud music was coming from inside the house.

One of the underage youths was lying incapacitated on a couch and had been written on with a marker.

Police took the young man to Milford Regional Medical Center, where he was treated and released, according to Ms. Blodgett-O'Toole.

Mr. Robbins, the parent present when the party was going on, did not deny the use of alcohol by minors.

According to the Police Department's Facebook post, Mr. Robbins told police, "They are going to drink; it may as well be here."
